Oakland, Maine 



EARLY SETTLERS AND SETTLEMENTS. 

In tracing the history of the town of Oakland we find that our 
task lies in tracing out the story of the settlement and develop- 
ment of the whole section along the banks of the Kennebec 
River, above Cushnoc, or Augusta as it was later called. When 
the Avhite man first gained a knowledge of the territory of this 
region about the junction of the Messalonskee and the Kennebec 
the forest resounded only to the stealthy step of the redman, and 
the waters reflected only the rude, rough features of the child of 
nature as he bended over them to cast the rude implements of 
fishing or seek a draught to quench his thirst. For a long term of 
years after the first of the white men learned of the territory 
hereabout no progress or even attempts to settle were made. The 
strife that was waged between the white men and the Indians 
made the whole of this region the secure home for the latter for a 
long time. But with the advent of the trader came some small 
development of opportunity to settle. From the 31st day of 
May, 1607, when the Popham expedition sailed from England to 
the mouth of the Kennebec and made preparations to establish 
6 



6 Oakland^ Maine. 

there a colony, the fortunes of the Indian seem to have been 
doomed. There were many long periods of doubt as to whether 
the territory of this region was to belong to France or England ; 
but there never was a time when there was any doubt that the 
Indian sooner or later must leave the scenes of his former domain. 
The French adopted methods which seem to have been well 
calculated to hold for a time the confidence and friendship of the 
redman, but their purpose was identical with that of the English 
and aimed at the control of the territory of the larger part of the 
whole North American Continent. While the Fi-ench were aim- 
ing at the subjugation of the Indian by diplomacy and apparent 
friendship, the English were carrying on their old and well known 
plan of subjugation by the might of the sword. This policy 
entrusted to the adventurers whom they sent to establish their 
dominion, coupled with the deceit which was frequently practiced 
upon the Indian served only to make the English the more hated 
and the French the more trusted. 

This condition led to strife which was destructive of life and 
property as well as of the advance of civilization. So long as 
the strife of arms continued little or nothing was done for the 
betterment of the region of the Kennebec. When the fort at 
Winslow, Fort Halifax, w^as built in 1754 there was a certain 
amount of protection for the settlers offered, and from this time 
there was something done toward settlement. But previous to 
this time the history of the section is a story of strife between 
the Indians and the English with the complications made by 
the French in addition. Briefly the events of most importance 
following the establishment of a colony at the mouth of the 



Oakland, Maine. 



Kennebec by Popham in 1607, as above stated, are the following. 

The grant of territor}^ known as the Plymouth or Kennebec 
Grant was made by the Plymouth Council on January 13, 
1629. This grant included all the territory on either side of the 
Kennebec river to the extent of fifteen miles from its banks, and 
extended from the vicinity of Topsham to the Wessarunsett 
river at Cornville. Following this grant there was erected a 
trading house "uj) above on ye river in ye most convenientest 
place for trade." This was undoubtedly at Cushnoc, or Augusta 
as it is now known. Not long after this, some six years, the 
Plymouth Council became disheartened and surrendered its 
charter to the King of England. Then by various acts and 
grants the King placed this and other territory, which included 
practically what is included in the present State of Maine, under 
the control of Sir Ferdinando Gorges. His domain was 
designated as the "Province of Maine." He sent his nephew, 
William Gorges, as Governor, and this gentleman established his 
capital in Saco, and opened court there on Mai'ch 28, 1636. 
As there were no settlements yet on the Kennebec, Gorges exer- 
cised no jurisdiction, but the Pilgrim Colony made a monopoly 
of the trade with the Indians. But the trade with the Indians 
became in time so scanty that it was leased in 1649 to five parties, 
William Bradford, Edward Winslow, Thomas Prince, Thomas 
Willett and William Paddy. The consideration was a small sum 
and the lease was to run three years. This lease was renewed 
till 1661 when the patent was sold outright to Artemas Boies, 
Edward Tyng, Thomas Brattle and John Winslow. 

One of the very first civil actions on the part of the people 



8 Oakland^ Maine. 

scattered along the Kennebec near its mouth, occurred on May 
23, 1654, when sixteen men assembled in compliance with an 
order from the General Court of Massachusetts to one Thomas 
Prince to "summon the citizens on the river Kennebec that they 
might take an oath of allegiance and arrange a judicial code." In 
accordance with this order the sixteen men, mentioned above, 
assembled at the house of one Thomas Ashley near Merrymeeting 
Bay on the above date, and besides taking the oath, "promulgated 
the first prohibitory law in the State of Maine." It provided for 
penalties for the selling of liquors to the Indians. 

We find that at the outbreak of King Phillip's War there were 
two men who had trading places at Waterville, Teconnet as it was 
then called. They were Messrs. Clark and Lake. In a short time 
the war assumed such proportions that the Maine Indians took 
part, and a large part of the traders about the vicinity of 
Arrowsic and at points further up the river were killed. This 
conflict and those which followed were so destructive that as late 
as 1749 there were only two families left on the river above 
MeiTyraeeting Bay. In 1749 nine of the heirs of the men who 
had bought the rights of the Plymouth Company in 1661 met in 
Boston and organized and became incorporated in order to obtain 
their rights to the lauds which had been bought by their ancestors, 
and to devise means to open the territory to settlement. In 1753 
the company petitioned Gov. Shirley of Massachusetts for the 
erection of a fort at Teconnet Falls. This was the beginning of 
the opening up of the whole of the Kennebec Valley to settle- 
ment. Teconnet was regarded as the stragetic point by both the 
English and the French and by the Indians also who saw in this 



Oakland^ Maine. 



new move a thing dangerous to their interests. But their protest 
was in vain and the fort was erected. General Winslovv was in 
charge of the eight hundred troops who accoropanied Governor 
Shirley on this expedition. It was he who laid out the fort and 
had charge of the operations about the scene of the fortification. 
It took but a short time for these English to build five buildings 
about Fort Halifax. Soon a stockade eight hundred feet in 
length was j)ut up, cannon and rifles were brought up the river in 
scows, and a wheel road was cut through from Fort Weston at 
Cushnoc (Augusta). When the woiks were completed Governor 
Shirley inspected them and very highly complimented General 
Winslow and his men. Capt. Lithgow, who had been in com- 
mand of Fort Richmond, was assigned to the command of Fort 
Halifax, and was given a garrison of eighty men. We are in- 
formed that there was a whale boat express established between 
this place and Falmouth (Portland) which made the trip in 
twenty hours, a rate of speed considered rapid for those times. 

After the garrison was established at Fort Halifax it was soon 
learned that the Indians were determined to make trouble if 
possible. No man was safe if he ventured beyond the limits of 
the fortifications. Several were mortally wounded by the Indians. 
They continued to make trouble till the summer of 1757 when 
the last skirmish with them occurred. It is recorded that Capt. 
Lithgow had noticed for a few days that there were rafts drifting 
down the river, and concluded that the Indians had used them to 
cross at some point above and come down in attack on the settle- 
ment. He sent a party of ten men down the river to give warn- 
ing of the impending danger. As these men were returning they 



10 Oakland^ Maine. 

were fired upon some ten miles below the fort and two of the 
party were wounded. They returned the fire and continued the 
fight with such g.-illantry that the Indians fled after one had 
fallen, shot dead, and another wounded. The Indians carried 
away these two on their backs to prevent their being taken 
prisoners. The above skirmish occurred on Maj' 18, 1757, and 
was the final shot of the redman, as a tribe, in this region. 

The purpose of the Fort was now realized. It was the key to 
the region of the Kennebec, and had unlocked the valley to the 
axe of the settler. It is of interest to note that the garrison was 
much reduced after a short time, and that the Fort was dis- 
mantled after the close of the French and Indian War in 1763. 
When Arnold passed up the Kennebec on his expedition to 
Quebec the large house within the fort was used as a hotel. It 
was called "Fort House." This building was used afterward as 
a dwelling house, meeting house, town house and later as a danc- 
ing hall and finally as a home for the poor. A Mr. Thomas tore 
the building down in 1797 and used some of its timbers in the 
construction of the Halifax House. Capl. Lithgow remained at 
the fort for some time. He was engaged in trade at this point. 
He was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for 
Lincoln County as early as 1760. In 177*2 he removed to George- 
town where he died in 1798 at the age of eighty-three. 

Abbott says in his history of Maine, "Winslow was incor- 
porated this year (1771) including the present town of Waterville. 
Here was the famous Teconnet of the Indians ; and it was on this 
point, on the neck of land formed by the union of the Sebasti- 
cook and the Kennebec, that Fort Halifax was reared. As early 



Oakland, 3Iaine. 11 

as 1754, eleven families built their cabins at this frontier fort in 
the wilderness." The Rev. E. C. Whitteniore, in writing on this 
point, says, "Abbott states that eleven families settled in Winslow 
in 1754, but, if so, they have left neither trace nor name." We 
are inclined to believe that there w^ere no permanent settlements 
on the banks of the Kennebec at this point till somew^hat after 
this date. 

In 1766 the Plymouth Company issued a grant of land to several 
parties on several conditions. The most important W'as that the 
grantees must have fifty settlers on the land within four years 
time. There were several other conditions imposed in the case of 
the settlers themselves, providing for improvements upon the 
land they were to take up. At the expiration of the time it was 
found that there were established on the territory the required 
number of settlers. This was the first earnest endeavor to settle 
the territory about Ticonic Falls. The history of the settlement 
learn from existing records that the excellent water power on the 
Messalonskee early attracted some of the settlers to this jDortion 
of the town. But we are told that tradition has it that the first 
comers were among a party of hunters from Canada. In the 
the party were some by the name of Emmerson, who were so 
favorably impressed with the place that they stayed here settling 
near the outlet of the lake. 

In 1791 we find there were living in that part of Winslow 
which is now" Oakland the following: Ensign Thomas Bates, David 
Crowell, Asa Emmerson, the surveyor and mill builder; Solomon 
Hallett, Elisha Hallett, Elijah Smith, Jonathan Combs and John 
Farrin. 



12 Oakland^ Maine- 

According to a survey made by John Crosby in 1802, there 
were living in the })resent territory of Oakland and on lots as 
indicated in the following list: Samuel and Moody Crowell, Lot 
No. 4; Elisha Hallett, 2; Solomon Ileald, 3; Baxter Crowell, 4; 
Joshua Morey, 5; Samuel Morey, 6; Jabez Hall, 7; Peltiah

In addition to the names of the above we are able to give the 
names of the following who were here upwards of ninty years 
ago ; Daniel Emmerson, Jonathan Combs, Cyrus Wheeler, Baxter 
and Hiram Crowell, Watson and Elisha Hallett, Elijah and

ORGANIZATION. 

We have traced the different circumstances of the settlement 
of the tei-ritory of the present town of Oakland and have shown 
as well as the records will allow, the nature of the struggle of the 
M'hite man to build, from the forest, the ijoramunity of civilization. 
It will next be our task to make mention of the efforts of these 
early comers to mould this backwoods settlement into a munic- 
ipality with codes of law and officials to preserve the observ- 
ance of the same ; and later to note the changes made from time 
to time in the civil organization for the control and convenience 
of the territory of the region round about. 

We learn that the people who braved the dangers of the 
forest to locate here in the early years following the building of 
Fort Halifax, styled the settlement Kingfield. We have no 
records to state that there was any organized plantation in this 
territory which was known by this name. By this name, till 
1771, the whole of the territory of Waterville, Winslow, and 
Oakland was known. In that year the town of Winslow was 
organized, and the name of Kingfield was no longer connected 
with this region. The date of the incorporation was April 26th 
of the above year. The town of Winslow thus had the honor of 
being the fourth town organized within the limits of the County 
of Kennebec. The town was named for General John Winslow 
whose name appeared in the previous chapter. The first town 
meeting was held on May 23d of the same year, and the place of 



14 Oaklmidj Maitie, 

meeting was Fort Halifax. The warrant directed the opening 
hour to be eight o'clock, A. M. Lieut. Timothy Heald wa& 
chosen moderator; Ezekiel Pattee, town clerk and treasurer; 
Ezekiel Pattee, Timothy Heald, and John Tozer, selectmen; 
Robert Crosby, John Peter Cool and Nathaniel Carter, wardens : 
Francis Dudley, Joel Crosby and John Ayer, surveyors of high- 
ways; and Jonas Crosby, fence viewer. This warrant was dated 
"within the County of Lincoln" and called in "His Majesty's 
Name." 

From 1771 down to the beginning of the 19th century the 
town of Winslow gradually became prosperous, slowly but 
surely improved the natural advantages which it possessed, and 
became one of the leading towns on the river. It perfonned its 
part in civil and military matters with promptitude and patriot- 
ism. The western part, in which we are most interested, was all 
this time growing to a more and more commanding and influential 
standing in the town. Religious services were being held in this 
section, and steps were being taken which were later to lead to 
the building of a town at this point. 

Toward the close of the 18th century the people of this section 
were forced to pass judgement upon several questions of separ- 
ation. The matter of separation of the District of Maine from 
the State of Massachusetts had been voted on favorably from 
time to time. The question of the erection of a new county, 
with the territory of the county of Lincoln, arose about this time, 
and the division took place February 20, 1799. Another division 
which was of more vital importance to the people of this section 
was the proposed division of the town of Winslow. This matter, 



Oakland^ Main^e. 15 

after some agitation, was passed upon by the town voting on 
December 28, 1801 "To petition the General Court to set off that 
part of the town which lieth on the westerly side of the Kennebec 
river and to incorporate it into a separate town." 

A committee of five was appointed to prepare the petition in 
due form. This committee was as follows: Rueben Kidder, 
Thomas Rice, Josiah Hayden, Nehemiah G. Parker and Asa 
Soule. The petition which they prepared and which was granted 
by the General Court of Massachusetts, and which sets forth the 
reasons for the division then proposed is in the following form : 

PETITION FOR DIVISIONS. 

To the Honorable Senate and House of Mepresenta- 
tives of the Co77imontoealth of Massachusetts in Gen- 
eral Court Assembled: 

The Petition of the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the 
town of Winslow, in the County of Kennebeck, being a 
committee chosen by said Town in Town meeting as- 
sembled, humbly Report to your Honours that it is the 
wish of Inhabitants of said Town that the territory 
lying on the Westerly side of said River, in the said 
Town as it is now bounded, should be set off from said 
Town by the name of Waterville. Your Petitioners 
would in behalf of said Town, beg leave to offer to 
your Honours the following reasons : 

That the value of the property now owned in said 
Town is nearly equally divided on each side of said 
river ; 

That the Town and religious meetings in said town 
are held alternately in the meeting houses now erected 



16 OaJdand^ Maine. 

on each side of said River, and that in several parts of 
the years it is very difficult and almost impossible to 
cross said River to attend said meetings; 

That in the spring season, at the annual meetings held 
in said Town, the Inhabitants thereof living on the 
opposite side from where the said meeting is to be held, 
are frequently prevented by the particular situation of 
said River from crossing the same to attend said meeting ; 
That said River near by divides said Town of Wins- 
low in equal halves; 

Wherefore your Petitioners in behalf of said Town 
humbly pray that said territory may be set off and as in 
duty bound will ever pray. 

(Signed) Asa Soule, 

Thomas Rice, 
Nehemiah a. Parkek, 
JosiAH Hayden, 
Reuben Kidder, 

Com. of Town of Winsloio. 

That the now Town of Winslow shall be divided 
through the middle of the River Kennebeck as the 
River usually runs across the width of said Town ; 

That that part of the said Town which lay on the 
Eastern side of the Kennebeck shall retain the name of 
AVinslow and the part which lay on the Western side be 
erected into a town by the name of Waterville; 

That all debts, except such as concern meeting houses, 
that shall be due from the Town when divided, or 
Damages the Town shall be liable to, shall be appor- 
tioned and paid by each Town according to the present 
valuation; 



Oakland^ Maine. 17 

That Josiah Hayden, Esq., being the only selectman of 
the present Town of Winslow residing on the east side 
of the Kennebeck River, shall, after a division, have 
power to call the first meeting without consulting his 
colleagues. 

The above are articles agreed on by us in a Division 
of the now Town of Winslow, in behalf of said Town.

Committee. 

On June 23, 1802, the above petition was granted by the Gen- 
eral Court passing an act incorporating the town of Waterville. 

The warrant for the first town meeting was issued by Asa 
Reddington, justice of the peace, and was directed to Moses 
Appleton, a jahysician. It called for the meeting to be held "in 
the public meeting house in Ticonic village on Monday, July 26, 
1802, for the purpose of electing officers for said town." El- 
nathan Sherwin was elected moderator. Elnathan Sherwin, Asa 
Soule, and Ebenezer Bacon were elected selectmen ; Abijah 
Smith was elected town clerk; and David Pattee was chosen 
treasurer. 

The second town meeting was held on August 9, 1802, at West 
Waterville, (Oakland,) meeting-house. This, we are told, is the 
first time a town meeting was held within the limits of the pres- 
ent town of Oakland. 

On February 10, 1815, a strip of land on the western boundry 



18 Oakland^ Maine. 

of tlie present town of Oakland was annexed to the town of 
Waterville. The transfer was effected as follows: "An act to 
annex Benjamin Corson and others to the town of Waterville. 
Approved February 10, 1815. — Be it exacted by the Senate and 
House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massa- 
chusetts that Benjamin Corson, Robert Hiissey, Jonathan Nelson, 
Samuel Wade, Henry Richardson, 3d, Ebenczer Holmes, Thomas 
Gleason, Thomas McGrath, Spencer Taylor, Alvin Taylor, Abner 
Young, and Asa Young, with their families and estates be and 
hereby are set off from the town of Dearborn and annexed to the 
town of Waterville." 

For seventy-one years the town of Waterville with its ever 
changing interests and its ever increasing prosperity continued to 
manage its municipal affairs with that fair amount of unity and 
concord which marks the government of other municipalities. 
But the year 1873 brings about a separation of the town, and the 
the erection of a new town by the name of West Waterville. 

The agitation which finally resulted in the division was officially 
begun by Mr. A. P. Benjamin, chairman of the board of select- 
men of the town of Waterville, in the circulation of a petition 
for division. Three hundred and fifty signers were obtained. A 
counter petition was circulated. A town meeting was held in 
Waterville on January 28, 1873, and the matter was votod on 
with the following result: 227 for division; 130 against. On 
February 4th, another meeting was held, this time in West 
Waterville, and a vote of 393 was cast against division, those 
who favored it taking no part in the meeting. 

The matter went next to the legislative committee, where there 



Oakland^ Maine. 19 

were found to be five opposed to division and four in favor. The 
minority vigorously urged the distance between the villages, their 
separate corporate capacity, differing business interests, opposi- 
tion of each to improvements in the other, the struggle over the 
free bridge with loss to the town of $8,000, etc. The bill was 
passed by both branches in spite of the majority report and was 
approved by Governor Robie on February 26, 1873. 



INDIAN HISTORY ALONG THE KENNEBEC. 

The story of the Indian in the region of the Kennebec is one 
full of interest to all citizens of the State of Maine. It is not 
expected that we shall be able in this short account to mention 
all the details of the stirring events of the time which elapsed 
between the date when Indian history in this region begins and 
ends. Our purpose is to state briefly the story of the leading 
events of that stirring period. 

The date to be selected as the starting point is hard to de- 
termine. The Indian tribes east of the Conneticut river were 
known by the name of Abenaquois. But this name came in time 
to be restricted largely to those Indians who lived along the 
Kennebec from Merrymeeting Bay to Moosehead Lake. The 
name has come to have the spelling, Abenakis. The Indians 
were well disposed toward the whites and made no attempts to 
create trouble till after the Plymouth Colinists had carried out 
their methods of kidnapping and pillaging. As was natural their 



20 Oakland^ 3Iaine. 

faith and good will was transformed into sus])icion and hatred. 
From this grew trouble, which at times was very disasterous. 

Tlie first glimpse of the redman of this valley is obtained in 

the accounts of Captain Gilbert. These are very meagre but 

give something of a picture of Sebenoa and his tribe as they 

wandered through the forest unrestricted and fearless. The 

next recorded arrival of white men among the Indians is that of 

Edward Winslow and others of the Plymouth Colony in the fall 

of 1625. Three years later a trading post is established at 

Cushnoc (Augusta), and the white man comes more in contact 

with the child of nature. For thirty-four years this post was 

continued as the trading base with the Indians. But during this 

time, sorry to relate, the English did nothing for the Indians in 

the way of educational or religious training. It remained for the 

French to su])ply this much needed assistance to the redman. 

We learn that in 1643 an Indian who had become a Christian 

under the labors of the French missionaries at Siilery or Quebec, 

came down the Kennebec as far as Cushnoc and told the Indians 

there of the majesty and beauty of the new faith. Through 

this agency there was considerable intercourse between the 

Abenakis and the Indians of the Xorthwest. A few years after 

a delegation from the Abenakis appeared at Siilery to beg that a 

missionary be sent to them on the Kennebec. The result of this 

appeal was the appointment of the renowned Father Gabriel 

Druillette who started on this mission in 1646. He established a 

successful mission at a point about three miles north of Augusta. 

Here he became greatly beneficial to the Indians. He was most 

eager to participate in all their pursuits, sharing the experiences 



Oakland^ Maine, 21 

■of the tribe in its winter's hunting in the region of Moosehead 
Lake. He went back to Sillery in 1647 and did not return till 
1650 though the tribe sent a delegation each year requesting his 
return to them. In 1650 he came back and renewed his labor 
among them. This time he came as an envoy as well as a mis- 
sionary, and after meeting his old friends and companions at the 
mission he set out for Boston where he met in the capacity of 
envoy from the Abenakis Indians, the chief officers of the city 
and state. 

He was the first Jesuit to enter the streets of Boston, He 
also met the leading officials of the Plymouth Colony, and in all 
quarters was assured of the good will of the people in behalf of 
the Abenakis Indians, in this move for an alliance to protect them 
from the Iroquois who were very troublesome. But though 
Father Druilette returned to the Kennebec in a very hopeful 
frame of mind, his efforts were proven of no value as the people 
of Massachusetts could not be interested in the proposed alliance 
to such an extent as would be necessary to carry it to a successful 
ending. The result was that the Abenakis were left to depend 
upon their own resourses. 

Father Druillette returned to the Kennebec in 1651 after a 
journey of fearful hardship from a long wandering in the forests 
in the region of the St. John rivei', occassioned by having lost 
all trace of the course he was to follow. He finally reached the 
settlement at Norridgewock and was welcomed by his simple but 
sincere followers as an angel from heaven. He spent some few

chusetts to join witli the Abonakis in defending tlie region from 
the onslaughts of the Iroquois, l)ut to no avail. Father Druil- 
lette returned once more to his valley mission and passed a long 
dreary winter in performing his duties to his forest friends. At 
the beginning of March, 1652, he started for Quebec. This trip 
was to be more fateful than the one ])rcceding it. Some of his 
party died of starvation. Father Druillette was without food 
six days following the fasting season of Lent. They had even to 
resort to the boiling of their moccasins, and at last to the boiling 
of Father Druillette's gown — Camisole— which was made of 
moose skin. All but starved and thoroughly exhausted they 
reached Quebec. This was the last of F'ather Druillette's experi- 
ence with the Abenakis. Though his work had not preserved 
them politically, he had raised their standards and brought them 
to a higher plane of living for Avhich they continued to love him 
and cherish his memory. This remarkable man was born in 
France in 1593, and died in Quebec in 1679, having passed nearly 
forty years in missionary work. 



FIRST INDIAN WAR IN MAINE. 

After the departure of Father Druillette, for nearly a quarter 
of a century the history of the Kennebec Indians is a blank. 
The friction between the English and the Abenakis continued to 
be productive of discord. The English made no effort to better 
the Indian. Puritanism had no attraction for him, but the 
religious rites of the Catholic faith with its beautiful symbols of 



Oakland^ Mainz. 23 

those days in the skillful hands of an enthusiastic priest held 
their attention and won their faith and love. The Abenakis felt 
that the taking of Druillette from them was in some unknown 
way due to the influence of the English, and this being so it is 
plain to be seen that soon the relations between these parties 
must become strained. 

The events which led to the outbreak in Maine were brought 
on by the Iroquois opening war upon the settlements in the 
Valley of the St. Lawrence. There is an old tradition that there 
was fought near the outlet of Moosehead Lake a terrible battle 
between the L'oquois and the Abenakis. There is little or no 
proof to support this, but it has come down through history as 
one of the disasters of this tribe. It is said in this connection 
that a whole village was massacred save an old chief who was 
carried to the west and later tortured to death. 

With the opening of King Phillip's War came a stir among 
the Indians of Maine, especially in the western portion of the 
State. This led to an uneasiness on the part of the settlers about 
the mouth of the Kennebec. From this resulted a parley between 
the Indians of this valley and other Indians of the state, and the 
English, in which an agreement was made by the Indians to yield 
up their arms and remain peaceful. This seemed to be a settle- 
ment of the matter, and undoubtedly would have been had not 
Squando, a Saco chief, interposed objections to the treaty, and 
refused to be a party to it. This spoiled the best laid plans. The 
Indians were soon seen to be increasingly insolent. Trouble was 
imminent. War broke out. Massacres along the coast were 
committed in large numbers. Another parley was held with the 



24 Oakland, Maine, 

Kennebec Indians, this time at Tieonic, The Indians demanded 
their arms saying they wished no part in the war then on, but 
were suffering from lack of food and had no means of procuring 
it without their guns and powder. The English refused this 
request. This was the "last straw" with the Indians and they 
joined the Androscoggins and other tribes and began pillaging up 
and down the valley. This lasted about three years. Then fol- 
lowed a treaty of peace which was Avelcomed by the Abenakis, 
who had not been in the conflict, as cruel and barbarous as the 
Androscoggins and others, thanks to the influence and teachings 
of Father Druillette. In this treaty provisions were made by 
the English to protect the Indians of Maine from the tribes of 
the west. But this was simply a temporary settlement, a kind of 
truce. The two races were naturally repellant. 



THE SECOND INDIAN WAR. 

The second war in Maine was brought on by the troubles which 
had been long standing and the new complications made by the 
outbreak of war between the English and French — King Wil- 
liam's War — in 1688. The French used the Indians always to 
further their political ends, and this case was no exception. The 
Indians of the whole state were soon on the warpath and de- 
struction of life and property was of daily and nightly occurence. 

In the midst of this an event of great interest to the student of 
Indian history in Maine occurred. It was the coming of Father 
Sebastian Kasle to the Kennebec valley to re-establish a mission 



Oakland, Maine. 25 

of the Catholic church. The advent of the missionary has always 
been held to have l)een a part of the political plan of the French 
to hold their grasp on the Indians of this valley. 

Kasle came from St. Francis through the woods of the northern 
])art of the state to the headwaters of the Kennebec, and reached 
Norridgewock, where he established his mission, in 1695. Here 
he drew the remaining families of the tribes of this section of 
the state. He re-opened the religious work of Druillette and the 
history of his mission is the history of the Abenakis tribe from 
that time till it left the waters of the Kennebec. 

Whatever may have been the part Rasle played in the conflict 
he found in progress we know not. It was probably in behalf of 
peace. Soon after his arrival the Kennebec Indians sued for peace, 
through their chief, Bomaseen, and others. Those on the Kenne- 
bec were willing to see the war close but the French allies wei-e 
not and so the Avar again broke out. New disasters occurred. 
The English blamed Bomaseen and he was taken prisoner and 
lodged first in Fort William Henry at Pemaquid, and later at 
Boston. The Norridgewocks resumed the warpath. For two 
years the war raged. Another treaty was made in 1699. Bom- 
aseen was released. 

This was also simply a truce. When Queen Ann was crowned 
in 1702, she declared war against France. This was sure to pro- 
duce war on the western continent, and in this State as she 
asserted her control of Acadia, A conference between the Eng- 
lish and the Indians of Maine was held because of the warlike 
premonitions. It was to re-affirm the treaty last made, and to 
preserve peace. It was held at Casco — now Portland — and was

attended l)y Bomaseeii, Moxus, and Cajitain Sam, chiefs from 
Kennebec. P^ither Rasle was also in attendence. The treaty 
was signed, but could nut be kept in good faith. War was soon 
on again and though the Abenakis did not join as a body some of 
their warriors are supposed to have been concerned in the con- 
vict. The treaty of Utrect — 1713 — ended the war for a time. 

The fourth Indian war in Maine is particularly interesting as it 
was the conflict which ended with the death of Father Rasle at 
Norridgewock. Though it was due in a general way to the same 
causes as the other conflicts there were other circumstances con- 
nected. One of these was the people of the State and all New 
England felt that with the peace of Utrect the end of Indian 
troubles had come. They were flocking to their former colonial 
homes. They were taking up new claims granted them by the 
different companies, and by the State. In some cases no doubt 
they took up land which no one had given them the right to take. 
This soon led to friction between the English and the Indians. 
The English were aware that many of the deeds of the lands 
which they had bought with a few dollars worth of whisky and 
tobacco of the most worthless Indians were really of no value, 
were the cases to be tried in a court of justice. They however 
claimed that these deeds given in a drunk, perhaps, and by a 
sagamore who had no tribe at all to represent were absolutely 
binding and that they must enforse them. But they did not like 
the Indian's method of taking his revenge for wrongs, either real 
or fancied, so it was concluded to call a general conference of the 
tribes in Maine and the ofticials of the State to be held at 
Arrowsic in the summer of 1717. 



Oakland, Maine. 27 

The Indians came in large numbers and also the Governor of 
the State and other officials. The parley opened very pleasantly 
but a discussion of the ownership of the land was brought on 
and the conference was broken up by the Indians leaving the 
council tent. Father Rasle w^as the friend and counsellor of the 
redraen and well did he use the means at hand. The conference 
was re-opened the following day but an agreement was practi- 
cally forced upon the Indians in such terms as the governor was 
pleased to decide upon. P^'rora this time on the advance of the 
wdiites was made with confidence. The Indians watched the 
felling of the forests, the building of the forts, and the stamped- 
ing of their game in sullen silence. Rasle labored indefatigably 
to save to his people these lands. He interested the people of 
Canada and other tribes. Soon notice was given at Arrowsic 
that unless the whites retired from the lands they had usurped, 
war would be opened upon them. This notice when sent to 
Boston brought prompt action on the part of the government. 
Troops were ordered to the scene prepared to punish the rebels. 
Rasle was considered by the English to be at the bottom of all 
the trouble. A reward for his capture was offered. An expedi- 
tion for his capture was organized and started direct for Nor- 
ridgewock. It was unsuccessful, but came near being otherwise. 
Rasle was in hiding in the forest, but his dwelling was entered 
and his library and other belongings, left in his hasty flight, were 
burned. 

This attempt was view^ed by the Indians as a full and sufficient 
reason for war. All the other tribes felt that this outrage must be 
avenged, and prepared to do each its part in seeing that justice 



28 Oakland, Maine. 

should be done. Not long after the burning of the Chapel 
at Norridgewock the Indians fell upon the settlements and again 
the woods of the Pine Tree State rang with the whoops of the 
savage, mingled with the death cries of their victims. The 
English decided upon another attempt to capture Rasle. Captain 
Moulton, with a picked part}', ascended the river to Norridge- 
wock, but found the village deserted. Rasle, aware that a reward 
was offered by the government for his head had taken himself 
and his followers to a safer place. This time no destruction of 
l^roperty was attempted. This was the third attempt to take 
Rasle either dead or alive, the second being only a short time 
before the one just mentioned. 

The war continued with dreadful destruction. Men, women 
and children were killed at all points in Maine by the Indians. 
Whole settlements were wiped out in a single day or night. The 
whole section was terrorized. The English were now led to make 
another attempt to slay Rasle, whom they considered to blame 
for all this disaster. Captain Moulton accompanied by Captain 
Harmon with a goodly company of troops set out once more for 
the beautiful village on the banks of the Kennebec. This ex- 
pedition was attempted in the summer time, as the others which 
had been all unsuccessful had been such largely because of the 
snow. The troops started in whale boats on the 19th of August, 
1724, and reached Ticonic on the day following. On the 21st 
the troops marched toward Norridgewock. Before night the 
force came upon a party of three persons near where the village 
of South Norridgewock stands to-day. The two women were 
shot. The father, fleet-footed, ran swiftly through the forest to 



Oakland, Maine. 29 



carry warning to the village above. He was overtaken, however, 
by the bullets of his pursurers as he attempted to cross the river 
at a fording place. The victim was Bomaseen of whom we have 
made mention before. 

We are unable to state with any certainty the details of the 
advance upon the village. It has been handed down that the 
party crossed the river where the chief had fallen and marched 
to the high land a mile or two from the river where they could 
overlook the village and decide upon plans for its destruction. 
The forces were divided. Harmon led a company toward a place 
where it was fancied a camp might be as a smoke could be seen 
winding from the forest. Moulton advanced upon the village 
with the other force. Leaving two parties in ambush he took the 
remainder and charged upon the huts. The village was at once 
in a panic. No organized resistance was made. The Indians 
were shot down in cold blood either by the attacking party or by 
those in ambush. Rasle was seen issuing forth from a cabin in 
his priestly garments and was instantly riddled with bullets. He 
fell at the foot of the cross he had erected with his own hands. 
He was surrounded by his faithful neophytes, seven of whom fell 
by his side. Thirty Indians were dead and half as many more 
were hobbling into the woods wounded. Not one of the assail- 
ants was hurt, save one of the Mohawks who had accompanied 
the party. 

The purpose of the expedition was accomplished. The Eng- 
lish destroyed the village, scalped Father Rasle and the other 
victims and wended their way down the river. This cruel mur- 
der has since it was committed ever been remembered in history 



30 Oakland^ Maine. 

and in local traditions. The grave of Rasle is marked by a 
monument. He will always be remembered as a man whose only 
offense was devotion to the people he served, and constancy 
to his vows. Rasle's death ended the mission for some yeai-s. 
The larger number of the Indians who survived went to St. 
Francis. The war continued about a year after this incident, but 
the Abenakis had no part in the conflict after this time. Six 
years after Rasle's death the mission was re-estsblished but 
only temporarly. 

Here practically ended the Indian wars of this valley. Other 
minor conflicts occurred after the above events but were of little 
importance. One incident is recorded which will be read with 
surprise by any who believe that the Indian alone was capable of 
taking scalps. In the conflict between the English and French 
in 1744, large bounties were offered for Indian scalps. It is re- 
corded that one party of several men under Captain John 
Getchell visited the Messalonskee in quest of Indians to scalp, 
but their search was in vain. They returned after visiting other 
places, empty handed. 



MILITARY MATTERS. 

The military history of the town of Oakland is a source of 
just pride. If one thing more than another is to be revered, and 
commemorated, impressed upon the minds of the rising genera- 
tion, that thing is the record of names and deeds of men who 
faced the dangers of the battlefield for the welfare and safety of 



Oakland^ Maine, 31 

the country. Time rolls on and we are apt to forget the value of 
the service rendered by the soldier in war. Each succeeding 
generation is more forgetful of these things than its predecessor 
unless it is taught to revere and love the memory of the deeds of 
the soldier. It should be in the mind of each father and each 
mother to instill into the mind of the youth the significance of the 
inscriptions, "Killed at Gettysburg," "Wounded at Vicksburg," 
"Died in Libby Prison," etc. No one should lose the oppor- 
tunity to impress upon the generation to which he belongs and 
the one which follows the responsibility which rests upon each 
man. 

It is with pleasure that we attempt to give the names of those 
who have served in the armies of the United States from the 
town of Oakland. In compiling these facts we are greatly 
indebted to Mr. Geo. H. Bryant for the assistance he has very 
kindly rendered. The Revolutionary War quickly followed the 
organization of the town of Winslow, of which Oakland was a 
part at the first of her history, and although this portion of the 
town was sparsely settled there are several names of Revolution- 
ary soldiers credited to this town. So far as we have been able to 
ascertain they are as follows: George Young, Elisha Hallett, 
Levi Crowell, Phillip Thayer, and Manoah Crowell. 

The war of 1812 did not draw out the large numbers from the 
State of Maine as that of the Revolution and the Rebellion. 
This was due in large measure to the political conditions then 
existing. The Federalists were exceedingly bitter against the 
policy of the government, and as New England was strongly 
Federalists, the result was that this section of the country con- 



32 Oakland, Maine, 

fined its efforts largely to the defense of the coast. Governor 
Strong, of Massachusetts, was so bitter against the war that he 
would under no condition make a move till the coast of Maine 
and Massachusetts was threatened. Oakland's representatives 
in this conflict were the following: John Hallett, Lucius Rankin, 
Solomon Hallett, Silas Richardson, El)en Hussey, Elislia James, 
Seth Gage, William Philbrick, and William Stevens. 

The Mexican War was so brief and so removed from this part 
of the country that there was a small number only of men 
from Maine engaged. While Oakland lacked patriotism in no 
way we find that her only representative in the war was Daniel 
E. Manter, whose body rests in one of our cemeteries. 

The beginning of the decade of the '60s ushered in a time 
when the eyes of the whole world were fixed upon the Xortb 
American Continent as never before. Tliis conflict which had 
been threatened for several years now suddenly broke out, and 
the struggle of theories was on. The outbreak of this war 
meant much to all parts of the world. To the South it meant as 
they thought a speedy vindication of their contention that slavery 
was not only justifiable but absolutely necessary. To the North 
it meant that soon slavery would be annihilated on this continent 
and the nation once more united and strong. In Europe the war 
was hailed as the death knell of the Republic, and the signal of 
final failure of the institution of government by the people. We 
look back over the forty and more years that have elapsed since 
the opening gun of the war was fired and are prone to minimize 
the meaning of that greatest of all conflicts which was to decide 
whether one man could in justice, under a free government, own 



Oakland^ Maine. 33 

another man. No war of modern history compares with the one 
which was waged in the southern states from 1861 to 1865. God 
forbid that the civilized world be a witness to another like it. 

In this war Oakland responded in her usually prompt way to 
the call for sinews of war. We have compiled, with the efficient 
assistance of Mr. Geo. H. Bryant of this town, a list of all the 
Oakland men who enlisted in the war of the Rebellion. Forty- 
two of this number were left to slumber in southern soil. This 
list makes up the Roll of Honor of this town. We have thought 
best to give this separately from the names of the other soldiers 
from Oakland. 

In reverent spirit let every citizen of Oakland read this:

CHURCH HISTORY. 

The Free Baptists. — Methodists, — Uxivers alists. — 
Baptists. 

We find that the Freewill Baptists are the oldest religious 
society in the town of Oakland. This society was organized in 
1832 and had as charter members the following: Deacons Levi 
Ricker and John Conforth, Joshua Gage, Nancy D. Soule, to- 
gether with nine others. For the first year this society held its 
meetings in the town meeting house. At the end of this time 
the Union meeting house was erected, and this society continued 
to use this house as their meeting place. In 1859 the Univer- 
salists bought their pews and they moved their vestry across the 



Oakland^ Maim. 37 



road and soon after sold it to the Methodists. During this same 
year they erected their own church. The following list included 
the most of the preachers supported by this society: Elder 

Samuel Hutchins, Silas Curtis, Whitney, George W. Bean, 

Joseph Burgess, Arthur Deering, Erskine, A. H, Morrell, J. 

N. Rich, Redland, E. Mason, S. McCowan, Lincoln Given, 

Edwin Blake, D. B. Newell, John Roberts, E. W. Churchill. 



METHODISTS. 

Methodism began in Oakland in 1843 with the establishment 
of a class here by Luther P. French. D. B. Ward was the 
leader of the class. Thomas Hill, a local preacher and his wife, 
Joseph Stevens, and Mrs. G. W. Pressey were active members. 
Occassional sermons were jjreached here between 1827 and 1843 
by the following: E. Robinson, Martin Ward, P. P. Merrill, M. 
Wight, and Asa Heath. Occassional sermons were preached here 
by the following: S. Allen in 1844 and 1851; Asahel Moore, 
1845; C. Munger, 1846; D. Waterhouse, 1853; C. Fuller, 1854-5; 
J. H. Mooers, 1867; and A. S. Ladd, 1869-70. N. C. Clifford 
was sent to this charge and the one at North Sidney in 1872 and 
remained four years. During his stay he succeeded in building a 
meeting house at an expense of $6,000, of which sum R. B. 
Dunn furnished |1,600. The following four years saw but little 
done by this society, but on the coming of Rev. M. E. King in 
1880 a revival of church spirit was noticed. Some needed im- 
provements were made. Mr. King remained two years. He was 
followed by Rev. C. Munger, who continued to make needed im- 



38 Oakland, Maine. 

provements. In 1885-6 Rev. E. C. Springer was the pastor; IT. 
Chase in 1887-8, and from 1888 to 1892 Rev. A. Hamilton. Rev. 
C. A. Laughton, Rev. Mr. Welch, Rev. Cyrus Purington, and 
Rev. J. B. Laphara have been in charge of this church since 1892. 

UNIVERSALI8TS. 

While the active life of the Universalist Society begins here in 
1833, this faith was represented to a considerable degree as far 
back as 1802. The first sermon of this faith was preached here 
on the above date by the Rev. Thomas Barnes, the founder of 
Universalism in the Pine Tree State. 

In 1810 the twelfth annual meeting of the Eastern Universalist 
Association was held here. In 1813 it was again held here. 
Barzilla Streeter, W. A. Drew, William Farwell, and S. Cobb 
continued to hold frequent meeLiiigs at this point and the be- 
lievers in this faith constantly increased. The Union meeting- 
house was built in 1833 as has been mentioned elsewhere. In 
this enterprise the Universalists were the leading society. The 
church was dedicated in 1834. Joseph Warner, Thomas Cook 
and Hiram and Elisha Ilallett were prominent members of the 
church at this stage of its existence. The Crowells, Kimballs, 
Conforths and Mathews were also leading members. R. W. Byram 
was the first regular pastor and he was installed here in 1839. The 
first Sunday school superintendent was Alfred Winslow. Rev. 
Giles Bailey followed Mr. Byram in 1841, and was followed by 
J. P.Weston, Ira Washburn, and in 1845 by Nathaniel Gunnison, 
in 1846 by J. H. Henry, in 1847 by J. C. Pattee, and in 1852 
by Amos Hutchinson. 



Oakland^ Maine. 39 

During the year 1853 the church organization was perfected 
and the membership was phiced at forty-eight. In 1859 the 
Universalists bought the jjew owners' rights in the Union meeting 
house, and have since hiid out about $3,000 in improvements. 
The pastor during the civil war period was W. A. P. Dillingham. 
He was followed by Zeuas Thompson who Avas pastor for three 
years. Rev. Anson Titus was the next pastor, and in addition to 
his pastoral duties, wrote a careful history of the society for the 
Gospel Banner, published in 1876. Geo. G. Hamilton was the 
successor of Mr. Titus and remained in charge for eight and one- 
half years. He was followed by T. B. Fisher. The next pastor 
was Edward G. Mason. His successors have been as follows: E. 
V. Stevens, F. F. Erld}^, and II. L. Buzzell. 

SECOND BAPTISTS. 

The Second Baptist Church of Waterville was organized in 
1844. It was started with forty-five members mostly from the 
First Baptist Church of Waterville. Some of those who have 
been most prominent in the work of this society are the follow- 
ing: Russell C. Benson, A. C. Bates, K. M. Blackwell, A. Lewis, 
Lewis Tozer, Nathan Gibbs, and Benjamin Jackson. In 1846 the 
society voted to build a church. This edifice was completed in 
1847, and has since had several improvements. A. F. Tilton was 
the first pastor. He was succeeded by the following: N. M. 
Williams, John Butler, Allen Barrows, James D. Reid ; 1853, 
William Tilly; 1856, W. H. Keltou; 1862, Laforest Palmer; and 
for the next nine years by Prof. S. K. Smith. Following Mr. 



40 Oakland, Maine, 

Smith come F. D. Blake, C. E. Owon, G. W. Hinckley, E. N. 
Bartlett, Robert Morris, M. N. Reed, and W. G. Hubbard. 



SOCIETIES AND INSTITUTIONS.

MERCANTILE ACCOUNT. 

First Merchant. — Near Combs Dam.— South End of Town. 
— List. — Traders at Depot. 

So far as we have been able to learn, Leonard Conforth was the 
first trader in the town of Oakland. It is stated that Israel 
Washburn was a clerk in this store for a time. This is of interest 
to all Maine people as Mr. Washburn afterwards became Governor 
of the State. Across the road from Mr. Conforth's, Mr. Asahel 
Tilson kept a store at nearly as early a date. 

Near the Combs dam, Kimball & Matthews and Baxter Crowell 
had stores. Both these concerns had an ashery by the side of the

MANUFACTURING ACCOUNT. 

The history of the manufacturing industry in the town of Oak- 
land begins before 1800, when one Jonathan Combs built a saw 
and grist mill at the outlet of Massalonskee Lake. His successor 
in the grist mill was Burnham Thomas, who built a new mill on 
the old site in 1836. This mill after being run twenty years was 
carried away in a freshet. It was replaced by Silas H. & Edwin 
Bailey in 1856 with the present grist mill. The mill has since 
been the property of the following in order : Joshua Bowman ; 



Oakland^ Maine. 45 

Blaisdell & Webber; 1870, Samuel Blaisdell; Dustin & Hubbard 
Manufacturing Co.; and E. T. Bailey. 

The saw mill above referred to was operated by the builder and 
his two sons Jonathan and David Combs for a period of over 
half a century. Sanford Pullen had charge of a fulling mill 
built by Mr, Combs. About 1850 the Ellis Saw Company came 
into possession of the property and later sold it to A. B. Bates, 
who in turn gave way to Hubbard, Blake & Co. They made 
enlargements upon the property and later sold to the American 
Axe Co. On the other side of the stream was located the chair 
and settee factory, established here in 1849 by Joseph Bachelder; 
this enterprise was later run by Abram Bachelder, the son. 

In 1836 Alfred Winslow came to Oakland and built near the 
Combs dam a tannery which he ran for twenty-eight yenrs, mak- 
ing upper leather as a si^ecialty. Mr. Winslow, with a partner, 
Mr. William Jordan, made this leather into boots, employing 
about twenty-five men. Mr. Winslow sold the tannery in 1864 
to Alvin Atwood, who, after running it three years, sold it to 
Horace Farlin. A. J. Parker was the next owner, and he sold to 
A. J. Libby, who converted it into a shingle and grist mill. The 
Dustin & Hubbard Manufacturing Company came into possession 
of it in 1887. 

The Dustin & Hubbard Manufacturing Company was organized 
in 1887 by Frank E., Geo. A. and W. H. Dustin, John U. and 
Geo. W. Hubbard, Austin Bragg, J. B. Newhall, and Geo. H. 
Bryant. The officers were as follows: John U. Hubbard, presi- 
dent; Geo. H. Bryant, treasurer; F. E. Dustin, superintendent; 
W. H. Greeley, secretary. This concern at once obtained control 



46 Oakland, Maine. 

of the water ])Ower about the u|)})er dam and built several large 
shops for the manufacture of a general line of machinery. This 
company continued business for several years and then gradually 
suspended operations. 

The dam next below the Combs dam was bixilt about 1850, by 
Daniel Lord. The first manufacturing at this point was by Lord 
& Graves who put up buildings and made axes and hoes for a 
time. Graves sold to C. H. Davis, who, with Mr. Lord, carried 
on the business. It was sold to Sanford PuUen, who in turn sold 
to John U. Hubbard and Wm. P. Blake. In 1865 the firm of 
Hubbard & Blake was changed to Hubbard, Blake & Co. by the 
addition of L. D. Emmerson and Chas. E, Folsom. This concern 
made axes and scythes for five years, at the end of which time 
Emmerson and Folsom withdrew. 

The Emmerson & Stevens Manufacturing Company was formed 
in 1870 by L. D. Emmerson, Joseph E. Stevens, Wm. R. Pinkhnni, 
and Geo. W. Stevens. This concern has continued to do business 
down to the present day on a large scale, employing a large num- 
ber of men and turning out a large amount of goods. It im- 
mediately after its formation bought the site at the west end of 
the same dam where Hubbard, Blake & Company were 
located. 

In 1877 the Hubbard & Blake concern with the addition of 
Cyprian Roy, Chas. H. Blaisdell and Nathaniel Meader, re-organ- 
ized under the firm name of the Hubbard & Blake Manufacturing 
Company. Nathaniel Meader was president and John \J. 
Hubbard was treasurer. In 1879 a ])ortion of their works were 
destroyed by fire. They soon rebuilt and continued the business 



Oakland, Maine, 47 

till 1889, when the American Axe & Tool Co. came into posses- 
sion of the plant. The business was continued under the su))er- 
intendency of Nathaniel Meader. The concern sold out about 
two years ago, (1900). 

The Dunn Edge Tool Company was established in Oakland in 
1857 and has continued to prosper to the present day, and to give 
a large amount of employment to the people of Oakland. The 
concei'n was formed under the lead of R. B. Dunn, the well 
known business man and philanthropist. The concern organized 
with the following directors: R. B. Dunn, N. G. H. Pulsifer, and 
J. H. Drummond. In 1864 R. B. Dunn and John Ayer bought 
all interests held by other jjarties in the concern and continued 
the business under the same name. Mr. Dunn was succeeded at 
his death, in 1889, by his son R. W. Dunn. 

When the Dunn Edge Tool Company was incorporated it 
gradually absorbed several other mill properties in Oakland. 
Among these were the following: the property first used as a 
scythe manufaclui-y in 1849 by Passmore; Young & Taft, who 
sold to Hale; Stevens & Thayer, who in turn sold to Mr. Stevens, 
and he to the Tool Company. The Conforth Grist Mill, succes- 
sively owned by Ca})tain Folger, Silas H. Bailey, John Garland, 
and R. B. Dunn, who sold to the concern of which he was the 
head. The property at the old dam, at the head of the falls, 
whose builder is unknown. At this point Burgess & Atwood put 
up the frame of a shop and sold to the Hubbards, who, after 
making scythes for about four years, sold to the Tool Comj^any ; 
and the first site where scythes were made in Oakland, the site 
now occupied by the Cascade Woolen Mill. The concern at this 



48 Oakland^ Maine. 

point was known as Larned & Ilale. Tliese men made scythes 
for about three years and sold to Samuel and Eusebius Hale. 
The concern was later known as Hale & Stevens, and continued 
the business eight years when it finally fell into the hands of 
William Jordan and R. B. Dunn, and through them became the 
property of the Tool Company. 

On the dam occupied by the American Axe and Tool Company 
Mr. Albion P. Benjamin, in 1862, erected a factory for the manu- 
facture of grain threshers, horse powers, and general machine 
work. Five years later Geo. F. Allen joined him, and the firm 
of Benjamin & Allen has become one of the best known in this 
part of the country in its line. Since the retirement of Mr. Ben- 
jamin the concern has been continued by Mr. Allen. 

The Cascade Woolen Mill was built in 1883 on a property 
leased of the Dunn Edge Tool Company. Its organizers and 
first board of directors were as follows: R. B. Dunn, J. B. Mayo, 
Seth M. Milliken, John Ayer and D. A. Campbell. R. B. Dunn 
was the first pi-esident, and Seth M. Milliken was the first 
treasurer. The property is a most valuable one and is a source of 
great benefit to the town. 

In 1889 Columbus Marshall erected his shovel handle factory 
near the Maine Central Railroad Depot. This plant was recently 
destroyed by fire, but has been rebuilt and gives promise of doing 
a larger business than ever. 

The history of the carriage industry in Oakland began previ- 
ous to 1833, when a man named Mitchell located here. He was 
followed by Benjamin C. Benson in 1833, who began business in 
1835. Mr. Benson bought a shop on the upper dam and con- 



Oakland, Maine. 49 

tinned to make wagons and open carriages till 1880. H. A. 
Benson built, in 1878, a wagon and repair shop near the upper 
dam, and in 1880 took into partnership with him Edward Wing; 
the concern has continued to the i)resent day. 

Among other manufacturing concerns in Oakland to-day are 
the following : 

The Bi'own Woolen Company was organized in 1902, and has 
begun to operate its plant to a certain extent. It is expected to 
begin working its factory to its full capacity before many months. 

The King Axe Company is a concern of recent organization 
which is doing a good business in manufacturing axes and 
hatchets. 

The lumber manufactury of A. B. Bates & Co. is doing a large 
business. 

The Portland Packing Co. is another concern which is a source 
of great assistance to both the farmers and laborers. 

In the above sketch we have endeavored to give only in a 
general way the leading points in the history of manufacturing in 
the enterprising town of Oakland. No town of its size can boast 
a better reputation for thrift, enterprise and prosperity, than 
Oakland. It has always been one of the noted manufacturing 
centers of the State, and with its almost unlimited water power 
it seems destined to grow and prosper.

POST OFFICES AND POSTMASTERS. 

First Post Offick. — First Postmaster. — Early Condi- 
tions. — Change of Name. — List of Postmasters. 

The establishment of tlie post office at West Waterville — Oak- 
land — dates to 1827. There were some few things which the 
hardy backwoodsman found necessary when he established him- 
self in the pioneer home. As is mentioned elsewhere, the saw 
mill and the grist mill could not be dispensed with. Schools were 
also considered indispensable, and postal facilities were among the 
things which the pioneer called necessary. These facilities were 
at first somewhat crude. There are men still living in the town 
of Oakland who can recall when the town was served by a 
weekly mail, and considcretl tiiat most excellent service. When 
xhv tri-weekly mail was ushered in the people were greatly pleased 
and expressed themselves satisfied for all time with the arrange- 
ment. There was a time when there were only four post office 
boxes in the post office here. Instead of this office being a 
jiresidential office, as it has been for many years, with its salary 
of $1,000 and over, those days found it one kept in a private 
house and the salary "ten and six" per mouth. 

The Rural Free Delivery Service has been introduced in this 
section to a very considerable degree, and several routes which 
render good service to the section of country round about have 
their starting point at Oakland. 

The postmasters of Oakland since 1827 are as follows : Elisha 



Oakland^ Maine. 51 

Hallett, June, 1827; Harvey Evans, May, 1832; David Combs, 
October, 1832; William H. Hatch, 1841; David Combs, 1848; 
William H. Hatch, 1849; Isaac B. Tozer, 1852; William Mac- 
artney, 1854; Charles F. Stevens, 1862; J. Wesley Gilman, 
February, 1877; Charles F. Stevens, October, 1877; George T. 
Benson, 1882. 

In 1883 the name of this post office was changed from West 
Waterville to Oakland, and George T. Benson was continued as 
postmaster. His successors have been William H. Macartney, E. 
M. Stacy, 1892; William H. Macartney, Dwight P. Macartney, 
George W. Goulding.

CENSUS, 1903. 

The population of the town of Oakland has been arranged 
herewith in families where that arrangement has been possible. 
In these families in addition to the names of the resident living 
members, the names of the non-resident members are included. 
It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the 
names of all non-residents of Oakland as the names appear only 
when one or both the parents are still living in town. At the 
end of the Census will be found the present addresses of these 
non-residents when sucli addresses have been given to the author. 
The non-residents are indicated by the star (*). 

Opposite the names of the population will be found the occu- 
pation. In order that we might give something of value in 
ascertaining facts concerning attendance upon schools, we have 
given all those who attend a common school or any grade below 
that of a High school the occupation of Pupil, indicated by the 
abbreviation "Pu." Opposite the names of those who are attend- 
ing a High school or other institution of higher learning we have 
placed the abbrivation "Stu." We give in the following list 
some of the more common abbreviations we have used: Far.- 
Farmer. Car. -Carpenter. R. R. Ser.- Conductors, Station 
Aaents, Section Hands, etc. Ho.-Housework. Lab.-Laborer.
